42 BSNW CH 038 Training Time - 2 (2/2)
”I agree!” Sasuke agreed with a happy smirk at his friend's antics.
”Two idiots. Haargh!” Shikamaru sighed with a hand covering his face ”Did you two really think we got him? Look again!” Shikamaru countered their claims by pointing a thumb towards the burning area. The flames that covered it had started to dim. Naruto and Sasuke lost their smiles in shock when they saw that all that was left was a pile of slightly burnt vines.
”He escaped ?” asked Naruto, his mouth open wide in surprise and his hands hanging down.
”Not exactly” a voice sounded behind Naruto and Sasuke, Shikamaru slightly shook his head in resignation before looking back. Jun was standing behind Naruto with a grin on his face ”You guys improved tremendously in these past few weeks. I guess you have all been practicing a lot ?”
Naruto nodded eagerly , while Sasuke did so grudgingly. Shikamaru just yawned with his hands back on his head.
”I am really impressed. Your planning I presume Shikamaru ?” Jun asked to which Shikamaru gave a small nod.
”Really good, uncle would be proud.” Shikamaru gave a sheepish grin before tilting his head back again with hands on the back of his neck.

Confidence is good but there is only a fine line between confidence and over confidence. However I was glad to see you cooperating seamlessly with these two. That's a huge improvement from before where you just went off and attacked on your own.” Sasuke scratched his head at that comment, feeling abashed at Jun's point.
”Remember as a Ninja Look at the surface, then whats beneath it, and finally whats hiding even deep inside. Always make counter plans for if your initial is defeated.” Jun advised ”By the way. How did you guys know I was here? It wasn't long that I have been back.” Jun asked
”Ah, that would be me.”
Jun turned towards the voice and saw a young black haired boy walking towards him, smile on his cute boyish face with small dark tear like tracks on the side of his nose.
”Ah, so its you.” Jun exclaimed ”Been a while….”
